6AM emergency water changes suck
 

Woke up to a milky tank, could hardly see fish. Changed 50g, kinda scared to go home after work :)

Ooh.. Any clue what's going on?

None. Just cloudy. Some corals sliming, but nothing dead that I can see.

Changed water, cleaned skimmer, and hoping I have a tank when I get home.

Got clams? My guess is you've had a spawn...

One small one, not sure it's enough to cloud 200g of water. I guess it's possible. I thought maybe snails, but again, it's a lot of water for the amount of snails I have.

Eeeek!:neutral:.... I hope all is well for ya when you get home man....

Brutal mang. Hope everything works out. Good to hear nothing is dying though.

The biggest thing I hate in this hobby is when something like that happens, and you never find out why. lol.

Do you run a doser or anything?

Do you have a bubble tip anemone?
 

perhaps purging?? Mine did, and the tank was back to normal after a day.

In the past, I have had a couple scares with very cloudy water, after cleaning sand and rearranging rock work. My solution was to dump in a couple cap fulls of MB7, and it cleared up completely within 2 hours.

Yikes, that is scary! Hope everything is ok when you get home :sad:
